Understanding Gender In Psychology Is Changing
You’ve heard it before: Sugar and spice and everything nice… Snips and snails and puppy dog tails… Pink is for girls, blue is for boys…
So what do you do when meeting someone who has a little bit of sugar and a little bit of snails stuffed in their pockets? Or is kinda purple? Or a kaleidoscope of color?
Society is transitioning from a binary world of pinks and blues, girls and boys, to recognizing non-binary gender where one’s identity is not just male or female, boy or girl, man or woman.
But, what does NON-BINARY mean?
Is it important to understand client pronouns in therapy?
Absolutely.
If you’re confused about what non-binary means or what to do when the person sitting in front of you uses they/them pronouns or a pronoun you’ve never heard before, watch this FREE video from Sarah Burgamy, Psy.D., to learn about non-binary identities.
